Leeds United were yesterday linked with a move for SD Huesca playmaker Alex Gallar - the man who replaced Samuel Saiz at the Spanish club when he left for Elland Road in the summer.

Gallar was signed from Cultural Leonesa, one of the clubs Leeds have a working relationship with due to their ties with the Aspire Academy, last summer as Saiz moved to Leeds, but Victor Orta is reported to have tracked his progress this season.

The 25-year-old, who netted 20 goals for Cultural in the 2016/17 season, has five goals and five assists for Huesca this campaign and has become a regular in Huesca's push for promotion to La Lia, with the Aragon-based outfit currently top of the Segunda Division.
